Adding Next and Previous Arrows to Document Explorer

When you install the WDK, the application used to view the offline version of the documentation is called "Document Explorer". There are a few tips that can make this application more user friendly. Here's one of them ....

 

When you first install Microsoft Document Explorer to view the WDK documentation, the toolbar does not contain next and previous arrows that you can use to easily browse to the next or previous page in the WDK documentation. However, you can add these arrows to the toolbar. The WDK documentation on MSDN at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb898838.aspx describes how to customize Document Explorer to display buttons that do not appear in the default installation.

 

You can also use the following procedure to add these arrows:

 

1.       Click Customize from the Tools menu.

2.       Click the Commands tab, and then select Help in the Categories area.

3.       Drag the Next topic and Previous topic command buttons up to the toolbar one at a time and drop them there.

Wow.  I just found "Sync with Table of Contents" in that same list.  I wish I had known about this years ago...

I guess it was always in the toolbar?  Not sure how I missed it before.  Oh well.  Still a great tip!
